Craig's Photo

Author: Craig Pinhorn

From: Calgary, AB. Added: Jun 21, 2009

Craig
My Name is Craig Pinhorn, I was born on Cape Breton Island, in Nova Scotia and have fished since I could remember. We have done alot of ocean fishing and lakes, rivers, brooks. I fish every week now, and I live in Calgary Alberta. The Bow River is one of the best Trout rivers around for fly fishing and spin casting. I just need a little guidance on properly setting the hook and keeping the fish on the hook. Also proper handling of the fish after I get it in and how to get the hook out of the mouth fast and as least harmful as possible. The picture attached is the result of me forgetting my pliers and taking the Hot Chub out of the Brown Trout's mouth and him flipping at the same time. The hook was buried in my finger and thumb, Doctor had to remove it with a scalpel. I would like to prevent that from happening again. haha. Please pic me, I have an eastern accent too, which would make for some comical tv. See yas on the boat AYE!!!

Craig is my husband, and he deserves this trip so much. He is busy being a dad to an 18 month old and working long hours everyday. This leaves him with little time for his passion; which is fishing. Please send my husband on this trip- it would mean the world to him!!!

I know craig since a long time now. Awesome fella I think he would be your best choice for the show.

[Report]Mom & Dad Pinhorn From South Bar, Cape Breton, NS on Jun 27, 2009 wrote:

Craig Pinhorn is our son and even though he is our son we believe that he definitely should be picked for your show because at his wedding reception, even though he was wearing a cast due to breaking his foot, when it came time to take the garter off his wife, Jenna’s leg, he rolled up the tuxedo pant leg and boogied to the song, “CAN’T TOUCH THIS”. It was a riot. He had everyone (approximately 400 people) in stitches. This is only one occasion that he was the bell of the ball; believe us, there were many more. You won’t be disappointed if you pick Craig, all his life he loved to fish.

[Report]Galen From Calgary, AB on Jun 27, 2009 wrote:

My 6 year old son has been wanting to fish for two years now...I'm hoping he'll get to see Craig do the same...with or without a sturgeon...oops...I mean a surgeon.

Everytime i was with this guy was an adventure. Not Only is he a fun guy, he also brings out the fun in other people.

[Report]Sheila Fougere From Sydney, NS on Jun 28, 2009 wrote:

I haven't know Craig as a man only as a young boy. I lived across the street from him and known him as a helpful and kind young boy. So, I guess, what I am saying is that he has all the right qualities for your show,compasion, a comadian, and the a love for fishing.

[Report]Nick MacIntyre From Lingan, NS on Jun 28, 2009 wrote:

I honestly and truely think that there's not a better person for this trip! Maybe even get some new viewers "HOOKED" on your already great show! I miss my fishin buddy bye!

[Report]Kevin MacMullin From Calgary, AB on Jun 28, 2009 wrote:

Well as you can now tell Craig is really a no brainer to win this adopt and angler. I fish with Craig lots he's is very good friend of mine who when i call to go fishing he usually is working or taking time with his wife Jenna & son Cole. So yes he doesn't get out as much as he would like anymore but let me tell ya when we do get out it's a blast lots of fun, we have lots of tape to prove it lol, we pretend we have our own fishing show talk to the people, promote tackle and gear, all just for laughs. Pick him you will not be disappointed!!

I am craig's uncle and watched him grow up through the years,his antics,personality,humor and wit would make for an awsome fishing show.We went shark fishing off sydney harbor, "didn't catch any sharks" but had the time of my life because of craig and his buddies. I will look forward to seeing him on "wfn"

Hey bye, You're from the Island and have no clue how to fish....that's too funny!!! I'm from the Island too man, I hate the taste of fish, but fly fishing, wharf fishing, and general casting comes easy to me. In fact, my father bought me a pack of Blue and a fishing rod for my 19th B-Day. You're lying.
